Julio Environmental Mining Permit Received

CARSON CITY, NV – Mexus Gold Mining S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mexus Gold US has received the final Mexican Environmental Mining Permit for the Julio/Santa Elena project. The 30 year permit will allow the Company to mine and produce gold on its wholly owned property. The Company plans to establish three operations at the Julio/Santa Elena mine site.

Placer Operation: The existing placer operation will be moved a short distance from its current location allowing a doubling of the capacity.

High-Grade Underground Mining: Mexus has installed and tested the necessary equipment to begin underground mining once the qualified miners have been hired. This equipment includes a hydraulic head frame along with a gravity recovery plant. (Photos of hydraulic head frame found under Julio Mine Project) The underground shaft is currently 100 feet deep with 100 feet of drift. Past assays show gold up to 6 ounces per ton. The production operation will be 20 tons a day to start using a 4 man underground crew and an additional 3 men at the mill. This rate of tonnage will increase as knowledge and efficiencies are gained.

Heap Leach: The open pit/heap leach operation holds the most promise for Mexus. The Company will start with the 600 GPM Merrill Crowe recovery system presently stores at the Company’s fabrication facility. (Merrill Crowe photos under the Julio Mine Project.) The capacity, using existing mining equipment, is approximately 2,500 tons per day with an expected average of 1.5 grams per ton.

"Our open pit will start with shallow mining of numerous exposed quartz veins on the property. Overburden is basically non-existent on these veins so our start up time is minimal. We will be digging 50 to 60 foot wide swaths down to 30 feet. This material alone will keep us stacking for the first year. In the meantime, we will continue with our core drilling and mapping so we have a game plan once this initial mining is complete," said Paul Thompson, the company’s Chief Executive Officer. "Our goal is to get to 6000 tons a day!"
